'''''Smolensk''''' (Смоленск) is a city and the administrative centre of Smolensk district (Смоленский район) and Smolensk oblast (Смоленская область) in the Russian Federation.
 
During Tchaikovsky's lifetime it formed part of the Smolensk district (Смоленский уезд) and Smolensk province (Смоленская губерния) of the Russian Empire.
 
==Tchaikovsky in Smolensk==
Tchaikovsky visited Smolensk on 20 May/1 June 1885 to attend the unveiling of a monument to the composer [[Mikhail Glinka]], where he saw "a huge confluence of famous people", and did not have "one minute of freedom or quiet" throughout the proceedings <ref name="note1"/>. He left the following day, missing the rest of the festivities.  
 
At one of the concerts given in Smolensk as part of these festivities, Tchaikovsky's overture-fantasia ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' was performed at the request of [[Glinka]]'s elderly sister, Lyudmila Shestakova (1816-1906) <ref name="note2"/>.
